Because I Care

As soon as I saw the Current Sketch/Theme Challenge 

over at STAMPlorations

I knew what stamp set I wanted to ink up choosing to go with

both Sketch and Theme.

It is the new release -STAMPlorations Trendy Spring Blooms

and as a Premium Stamp Club member I got the

Matching CUTplorations Dies for free. Bonus!

There is a little bit going on with this card 

starting with my SU card base.

The background is stamped with the flowers

and leaves from the above Stamp Set

 and I off set the top layer as I like the uneven effect.

For my featured butterfly from 

STAMPlorations Scribbly Splattery Grunge

 I cut the peek a boo die from MFT 

to then tuck it in behind my popped flowers.

After I inked it up I then heated it with clear embossing powder.

Inks were Memento Potter's Clay/Peanut Brittle and Teal Zeal 

Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers

Now to add a bit of interest I cut

a rectangle from MFT cutting through

both papers to show up when opening the card.

The sentiments here are from 

STAMPlorations Pocket Blooms and 

STAMPlorations Bloom Happy

The background is lightly stenciled from

ARTplorations Zen Hearts

I'll pop this over to the 

Here for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate.

Thanks for taking time to pop in and read my

'rather lengthy post'

Love reading your comments -

PS - As it is Good Friday here I would like to 

Wish You a Happy & Safe Easter.
